Obviously the receptacle 1 is designed to contain a certain quantity of water.

From its bottom the receptacle is formed or provided with inwardly directed sockets, 13. Obviously any desired number of these sockets may be provided and the inner ends of the sockets are closed. These socketsare adapted to receive therein the straight upper ends of the supporting legs 14' of the improvement. While in the drawings 1 have illustrated only three equidistantly spaced legs'l l and three equidistantly spaced sockwhich is preferably inthenature, of a, can

of inflammable .material.

"From the foregoing description when taken in connection with the drawings it will be ob viousthat the flamefrom the heating element 17 will boil the water in thereceptacle l and heat the milk in the bottle 12 to a desired tem-' perature. w 7

.Theair space provided between the tubes 7 and 14 permits of the thermometer 11 being heated, and by withdrawing or partly with drawing the thermometer from the tube 7 .the degree of temperature of thewateritherein, heated may be ascertained. The tube 7 contains asmall amount of fluid which is much less than the amount of milk in the milk bottle water receptacle, flanged arcuate shaped closure plates for the receptacle and over-lapping each other'at one of their ends, a ledge plate in the receptacle on which the lapping ends of the closure plates rest, a tube having a closed bottom and an open top passing through the closure plates and through the ledge-= plate 'arid 'providi ng a pintle. for the closure plates, a compressibleelementin the bottomof the tube, a cylindrical compressible dealer-1t:in the.- tribe providing: a guide for a removable thermometer, a cap screwed on the outer-:end of the tube, a second tube fixed to the ledge plate and surrounding the first mentioned tubeand providing an air space therebetween.

located in the receptacle land to prevent the fluid in the tube" 7 from heating quicker and to a higher degree of temperature than the 7 milk, the dead air space 15 is provided. The

5 fluid in the tube 7 conducts the heat from said tube to the thermometer.

Thesimplicity of the improvement and the advantages thereof will, it is thought, be understood and appreciatedwhen taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. It

is to'be stated, however, that'I do not wish to be restricted to the precise details herein set forth and, therefore, hold myself entitled tomake such changes therefrom as fairly fall within the scope of what-I claim.
